I really like 2 and 3 the best. #2 has that great view of her eyes, plus the ring in focus. Great ring shot. On #3 I simply like the capture. I would remove the little white distracting piece of lint or shiny hair or whatever it is on his left elbow. It's nitpicking, but it is distracting to me.

On 13 and 14, it looks like something is in his hair, and should be cloned out. (right on top-center of his head).

Overall, I like the set a lot. It's pleasing to the eye. I would go for more shots where they are not always looking at the camera. More interaction captures. But maybe you have plenty of those and just didn't post them here. But that's my biggest nit. I would strongly advise also to go with less center compositions. Almost all of them are center comps.

I would suspect that the couple will love these photos.

Nice poses!

Just wondering, did you post process the girl and not the guy? I was thinking that she might just be wearing a lot of makeup for the session.

My question is, assuming you did not smooth any skin, does it make sense to work on the guy a bit? It just seems to me that the difference in their skin texture is noticeable and unbalanced. really noticeable in 1 3 7 8.

I like the color balance with their skin color and the background in 12 13 14.

Yea, that is something I struggled with. The guy is very simple, no hair gel, or anything, and she kind of goes overboard on makeup. She needed some facial smoothing. I didn't think it would be cool to make him look touched up when that isn't who he is. So I just let the pics represent who they are.

I was noticing the same thing. I thought she looked very smooth and refined, and he looked raw. Not that he needs to look smooth and glowing like her, but there is definately an unbalanced issue here. I'm not sure if the clients would notice. They may notice, and not know exactly what the problem is, and just think she's way way more "photogenic" than he is.

That simply represents exactly who they are. I didn't feel the need to make them into something they aren't.
